How Small Decisions Make Big Life Changes

Repeat: Day by day, in a different way, I’m getting better and better!

Lots of us pause for important life events to kick-start life-changing decisions. Whether it’s a new boyfriend, girlfriend, a reunion, or a big trip that stimulates us, we seem to think we need these circumstances to create a “game changer.”

I recently went to Dublin, which was an amazing, wonderful experience, but many people are convict that a trip would change their life.

Everyone has a diverse response to travelling – maybe for some people it truly transformed their lives and changed their view of the world. In my opinion, a trip can help to change something inside you, maybe it builds new parts of your personality, but it is not a fact that it changes completely your life. Rather than looking for a transformation, I felt it hardened my confidence in the path I’ve chosen.

So how is it that we make big life changes? There are three simple rules to live by that can trigger huge shifts in your life.

1. Small life changes yield big results.

It does not have to take a big trip or an occasion to fire up personal innovation. Committing to small changes can create momentum to affect your lifestyle and overall well-being.

2. Two words: Self-realization

Self-realization is crucial to finding meaning and purpose in your life. It is the act of finding your full potential by living a life that increases and brings VALUE for you and for people you love most – relational, economic and personal value. Research states that when someone’s life differs from their true nature and capabilities, they tend to be less happy than people who have lives and goals that harmonize. Creating significant changes will happen over time if you strive for the best while being your most authentic self.

3. Letting go of ancient habits

Occasionally we make choices due to convenience – preserving relationships that are lethal, careers we aren’t appreciated in and behaviours that don’t serve us. Whatever may be holding you back, begin to let go of that habit. It may not be all at once, but taking small strides that are in alignment with your path.

You never need a reason to produce life changes since you have the potential to jump today. Don’t forget that it doesn’t have to be giant life decisions or events that create an impact – what we do day-by-day can make a big difference. It’s crazy to think that seemingly small matters would create such traction but in life, it really is about the little things.

SECRETS TO BE POPULAR IN ANY GROUP

SECRETS TO BE POPULAR IN ANY GROUP

Have you ever thought to become the more popular and welcomed by people in your community or business circles?

The secret is in the charming you have in every contact with others.

The deepest human need is the desire to feel significant. When you go through life building self-confidence and making other people feel important and valuable, they sure will like you.

If you are in business, becoming a charming person, making others feel important, will help you in every business situation.

How to be charming and so, popular in any group:

·         Smile in every situation. It expresses unconditional positive regard. I smile always. It is so a powerful technique.

·         Say “thank you” early and frequently. When you say it, you make people feel so important and happy, raise their self-esteem and increase their desire to help you.

·         Give genuine compliments. I have already talked about this great Technique. On every occasion you appreciate the possessions, traits or accomplishments of others, they inevitably feel more important and valuable! As Abraham Lincoln said, “Everybody likes a compliment”.

·          Give praise and approval often. When you praise your spouse and children, your staff and co-workers, your customers and suppliers, you make them feel more important and cause them to see you as “charming”

·         Give them your full attention. Whenever you listen closely to another person when he is talking, his self-esteem goes up.

Make people feel valuable and special is the BIG SECRET.

Soon, almost without effort on your part, every person will be talking about “what a charming soul you are”.

FORMULA OF THE SUCCESS IN EVERY BUSINESS!!

FORMULA OF THE SUCCESS IN EVERY BUSINESS!!

During my life, fortunately, I lived different kinds of lives.

I have been a student, I have been a lifeguard for a long time, I have been an entrepreneur for two years with my business partner, I have been an investor, I have been maintenance engineer and Project manager for industrial systems.

All of this experiences gave me something that every day I use. They gave me those little secrets to have SUCCESS in all kind of work and business you are running in.

If I could summarize them, I would make a short list to give to whom is reading right now.

This short list doesn't give you an instant success, Like each thing in life, success is made by a lot of ingredients, but this list might help you to start a new life.

FORMULA OF SUCCESS:

- ATTITUDE: Everyday is different and your mood depends on such different things, BUT..Have you ever noticed that sometimes you produce great things and sometimes you can't get up from your bed. That energy is depending on your ATTITUDE. In based on what you think,  you can get things done in the future or you might lose them. Read carefully, try to see you always full of opportunities and you will always have the great mindset.

- LISTEN TO PEOPLE: As I said in another article " If you want to lead people, first of all, you have to listen to them and you have to "listen" their emotions, trying to balance those emotions and get their negative emotions out.

It's easy, start just:

1) Listening to their idea and emotions about something.

2) After a conversation tries to find a common point.

After this two easy behaviours, they have been engaged, and will be easier work with them."

- GIVE CLEAR RESPONSIBILITY: In my life, the reason why I failed and Learnt was that responsibilities weren't enough to clear in the organization. I think that to achieve a goal anyone on the team should have clear responsibilities. If it is not like this, won't be a clear and unique destination. At the end of a period, you have to control how your partner is keeping these responsibilities. Being clear save time and quarrels.

- PAY ATTENTION TO THE BUDGET: Money is important, always, find the right way to save them and to make them grow.

- SMILE Every day: Everyday there is a reason to smile. Smiling improve your attitude and your results. Whatever happens in your life give me a smile..:-)

- LEARN HOW TO SELL: After years of selling ( When I was an entrepreneur I have sold my products on my own ) I Learnt what important this skill is. The first thing: to sell, you need to catch people emotionally.
Making real compliments and find a common point is the base to close a deal, then there are a lot of techniques to improve it. Try to be as much transparent and sincere as you can with people and this will pay off.

- CHOOSE THE RIGHT PEOPLE: Creating a great team assures you the achieving of any kind of goal. Remember good persons with an average QI is better than wrong persons with an excellent QI.

-  PERSISTENCE: To talk about it I will take a quote from the movie "THE FOUNDER": 

Ray Kroc: "I know what you're thinking. How's a milkshake salesman build a fast food empire with an annual revenue of $700 million? Persistence"
Ray Kroc speaks directly to the camera in this The Founder movie quote. He talks about how he went from being some low-level salesman to the man behind building a multimillion dollar company, at least how he sees what happened.

And then, the last one:
